Cedarwood Oil Chinese
Description of Cedarwood Oil Chinese
Historically, Cedarwood Oil Chinese has been steam-distilled from the temperate growing Cupressus funebris tree, or “Chinese Weeping Cypress,” which grows throughout southern and central China. The oil’s aroma is recognizably cedar-like, though it retains a spicy and smokiness not found in other cedarwood varieties. Chinese cedarwood oil also lacks the woody punch common in Texas or Virginia material. This is mainly due to the oil’s lower concentration of the all-important cedrol component, which contributes to cedarwood’s overall woody characteristics.
